PRO SE ANNOUNCES CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR BOLD EXPERIMENT- RAT-A-TAT!

Classic
Pulp Fiction was known as a proving ground for not only up and coming writers,
but also new takes on genre fiction and experimenting with the style of writing
Pulp. New Pulp as a field and
style is no different than its ancestor and one of the leading companies
focused on pushing the boundaries of genre fiction, in both content and
presentation, is Pro Se Productions!
To that end, Pro Se announces today a daring new collection is now open
for submissions!

RAT-A-TAT!: Short Blasts of Pulp! Is a book that will spotlight extremely
short pieces, popularly known as ‘flash fiction’ that, regardless of genre,
will be Pulp in nature.
Pieces accepted for this collection must be no shorter than 500 words,
but no longer than 3,000 words.
Also, the requirements are that these be complete stories, not scenes or
excerpts from larger pieces. Also,
the pieces must be heretofore unpublished. Each story will be read and reviewed and acceptance will be
determined by the above standards as well as the determination of whether or
not the story qualifies as Pulp.

“Flash
Fiction,” Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Pro Se Editor in Chief says, “is a neatstyle all its own and to apply that to Pulp will be interesting. The Classic Pulps, although not filled
with them, ran shorts within the lengths we’ll have in this collection, so it’s
not a new ground we’re breaking.
But to take these short pieces, to challenge writers to tell complete
tales in a smattering of words, and to then bind all the genres, all the
writers, all the stories into one collection, that’s a new take on things, a
bit of an experiment, and a risk that Pro Se is more than ready to take.”

Hancock
also stated that due to the fact there could potentially be nearly 100 authors
in this collection, each contributor will get 1 print copy and 10 digitalcopies of the book, regardless of how many stories a writer submits. Hancock said that multiple submissions
by individual writers are accepted, but the intent is to have as wide a variety
of authors as the book will have of stories.

RAT-A-TAT! : Short Blasts of Pulp! Will be open for submissions until
June 1stor until the word count of 60,000 words is met. Submissions must be COMPLETE
stories, no proposals or queries.
Send submissions to Morgan Minor, Pro Se Director of Corporate
Operations at Tommyhancockpulp@yahoo.com. Direct any questions to that address as
well.
